"My son had a really strong case
of exzema beginning at 3 months old. Seeing Celina was our saving grace.
Through her work with Acupuncture, Shonishin, herbal medicine and the
best of recommendations were we able to get him exzema free. He is
now one, and has been free of pain, itching and extreme discomfort
for over 4 months - not to mention, his digestion is back on track
also! He loves getting Acupuncture, was very receptive to the herbs
and enjoys his visits with Celina's sweet and gentle ways. I highly
recommend Acupuncture, herbs and Shonishin from Celina for all kiddies
out there!"

"Celina has been
an incredible person to work with. She has helped my husband and I
conceive our second child, as well care for our first child through
most of her childhood illnesses. She has never been anything other
than incredibly knowledgeable and completely welcoming and kind. I
have learned a lot about Chinese Medicine from her, and how to take
better care of our family so that we stay strong and healthy and get
sick a lot less. I plan to see her throughout
my pregnancy and hopefully I will get to have her help at my birth.
We have been so lucky to have her expertise so far.

"When I first met
Celina my health was incredibly poor. Worse than that, I felt completely
disconnected from my body and my own ability and will to make any changes
in the way I was living my life. There was a part of me that had somehow
become comfortable in the discomfort that my body and my health brought
me. My blood pressure was through the roof, I was extremely overweight
and my kidneys were showing early signs of failing…I really
sought help only because I was becoming very afraid of where I was
heading. Celina was incredibly knowledgeable and from the beginning
I felt that she was able to peel back the layers of my condition, to
get to the root of my ill health. After the first time she treated
me and I started herbs, I felt dramatic improvement in my health. From
there on I became an engaged partner in my return to good health and
to a life that I now feel so blessed to have. I
always felt that Celina respected me and saw this time of healing for
me as more than just improved physical health, but as a time to come
back to myself as a person. After just three months of working with
Celina my blood pressure is normal, I have lost almost thirty pounds,
my kidneys seem to be functioning almost perfectly. Most importantly,
I know that things will just keep getting better and I feel dedicated
to myself and my good health. Thank you Celina!

"After trying to
conceive for more than year with no success, I turned to my doctor
for advice. A slightly high FSH was believed to be a contributing factor.
The doctor referred me to a fertility specialist and suggested I try
Clomid, a fertility drug. My husband and I opted to try more natural
alternatives before engaging modern science and pharmaceuticals. I
heard that Chinese Medicine could be an effective treatment for infertility
and soon I started seeing Celina Lyons for TCM treatments. Celina made
me feel optimistic about my goal to conceive naturally. She is an attentive
and engaging practitioner. I felt comfortable asking questions—Celina
is always very open about the objectives of my treatment, the function
of certain acupuncture points and my particular challenges. More than
anything, I felt I had an ally on this often trying journey. I’m
thrilled to report that after 6 months of treatment, I became pregnant!
At 15 weeks, I’m still receiving treatment to help my body accommodate
the rapid changes taking place. I’m thankful for the wisdom of
traditional Chinese medicine and Celina’s sincere dedication.

"I started to see
Celina for a rare bone disorder that caused me a lot of pain in my
legs and made it very hard for me to play basketball in my school league
and also made it very hard to sleep at night because the pain was so
bad it would keep me awake, even with taking pain killers. I had never
gotten acupuncture before I started treatment with Celina and I was
nervous! She was so nice and it really didn’t hurt
to get needles. Once I got used to the idea of it, I really looked
forward to my needles and I felt so much better and had so much less
pain and swelling in my legs, I slept well again. I also started to
have really easy and regular periods and I learned so much more about
how to eat better and how to be in charge of my health. I’ve
told so many of my friends at school about Celina and about acupuncture
and they all think it’s really cool how much it has helped me.
And three of them have started to see her for treatment. She is so
nice and easy to talk to and I laugh a lot when I go to her, she really
is good with teenagers!”

“Celina is awesome! I have had a lot of acupuncturists in my
brief time on this planet, Celina was my first Bay Area practitioner
and I am not looking anywhere else. She is super with women and kids
because she is an unbeliveably nurturing and compassionate person (I
feel like I can tell her anything - and poor Celina, I think I sometimes
do!) My friends now go and see her and so do their kids. I hope to
get pregnant again sometime soon and would love her to be the one sticking
needles in me during labor!!!!”

“I have been amazed
by Celina Lyons and the way that she works with children. I first took
my three year old daughter to her because she had bouts of severe constipation.
She had not had a bowel movement in ten days when I took her to see
Celina. With some clear and easy changes to my daughter’s diet
and some home massage, and only two visits with Celina she has not
missed a day without going to the bathroom. We are so grateful to Celina
for her help.”
